Taking ESD
Precautions
2
Components within the P4000 or P7000 contain static-sensitive parts. To
prevent damage to these parts while performing installation,
maintenance, or replacement procedures, observe the following
precautions:
• Keep the library turned off during all installation, maintenance, and
replacement procedures.
• Keep the library power cord connected to a grounded power outlet
except when working with AC electrical components.
• Use an antistatic wrist strap when touching internal library
components. To use the wrist strap properly, place the band around
your wrist and attach the clip to the library frame. Keep the strap on
until you are ready to close the library doors.
Caution:
Handle tape cartridges with care. Do not drop or bang
them, or place them near sources of electromagnetic
interference. Rough handling can displace the tape
leader, making the cartridge unusable and potentially
hazardous to the tape drives.
Note:
Hosts without a direct SCSI, Fibre Channel, or Gigabit
Ethernet interface require external communications bus
converters.
Warning:
Avoid contact with the power supplies, EMI filter,
and all other AC electrical components while the
library is connected to a power outlet.
